Synopsis
Sharp, darkly comic drama from Britain’s early modern stage.
This edition assembles John Webster’s dramatic works in a single volume, offering brisk plots, wry wordplay, and a look at courtly intrigue, crowded taverns, and scheming lovers. Expect lively verse, memorable disguises, and a brisk, smoky atmosphere that lingers long after the curtain falls.
Readers will encounter cunning merchants, passionate misalliances, and high-spirited comedies of appetite and ambition. The scenes move fast, filled with sly humor and moral consequences that feel modern in their appetite for risk and spectacle.
- Brisk, stage-ready dialogue with vivid characters and witty confrontations
- Disguises, disguises, and plots that twist through taverns, inns, and city streets
- Themes of desire, power, social reputation, and retribution without shying from sharper edges
- Rich historical and textual notes that illuminate early modern drama and performance
Ideal for readers of early modern comedy and tragedy who enjoy razor-sharp language and morally suggestive plots.
